Padme! We realize that the lotus is a palace fit for You due to the following reasons.

It has the bees singing pleasant music that is like the mangaLa gItam sung at daybreak. It has the stamens that are like huge pillars. The beautiful pink petals are its decorative walls. It is surrounded by the water that is like a moat to Your palace. It has the golden dais in the middle that is Your seat.

Comments:

The lotus has ‘bhangI sangIti udaya subhagam’. The buzzing of the bees around the lotus is the chorus that is sung at the daybreak to wakeup their queen, SrI MahA Lakshmi.

The stamens are like huge pillars present in the hall with the pink, soft petals as its walls. The poet calls the walls ‘citram’ which means painting and also special ‘vicitram’. bhitti means wall and also a break. The petals are like a wall that has gaps in between. Patram means petals and also paper. Thus ‘vikasat patra sat citra bhitti’. The bloomed petals of the lotus display the color inside that is like paintings and the stamens that are like the pillars.

The water is like a moat and the yellow middle and elevated portion of the lotus is like a ‘pITham’ for PirAtti.

Meaning:

amba! Mother! dugdhAmburASi duhita: — Daughter of the Ocean! One who sleeps on the grass gets to be sit on gold because of You. What is more wonderful is that one who is associated with those who are associated with You also benefit by their association. Brahma, who was born on the lotus, that is Your seat got to become HiraNyagarbhan, one who emerged from gold, due to this reason.

Comments:

The slokam tells us about the benefit of bhAgavata (adiyAr) sambandham. It also tells us that PirAtti’s sambandham not only benefits a devotee but also continues to benefit many of his future generations. PirAtti grants Her devotees all the riches and raise them from being a pauper who sleeps on grass to one who resides on gold. Not only PirAtti’s sambandham but also Her devotee’s sambandham makes one enjoy equivalent benefits as seen in the case of Brahma. Not only the lotus but its future generation namely Brahma who emerged from it benefited from PirAtti’s sambandham.

The lotus was originally ‘kuSeSayam’ or one who is in the middle of grass. Due to PirAti’s sambandham it got ‘svarNa sthiti’. The term means to be golden and also to be in good water — su+arNas. Brahma who was born on the lotus became hiraNya garbhan or one who occurred from gold. He who occurred from kuSeSayam became very rich ‘hiraNyagarbha’.

The poet says to PirAtti that Her BhaktAs do not consider Lotus as a mere flower. It is Your palace, which is abundantly endowed with five special and distinguished attributes:

• Bhogam/bliss

• ViSAlam/expansiveness

• VelaippAdu/ elaborate decorations and architectural features

• PaatukAval/extraordinary defense and

• ISvaryam/unmatched wealth of every kind.
